Freehand brush work is a genre of Chinese traditional painting which includes poem, calligraphy, painting, and seal. Xieyi literally means "writing ideas".[1] It was formed in a long period of artistic activities and promoted by the literati. The freehand brush work emphasizes the semblance in the spiritual aspect.
